Breakups & Divorce Support Group

Just broke up with someone or in the midst of a difficult divorce? Breaking up is difficult no matter what the circumstances are. They say that time heals all wounds, but sometimes a listening ear or a hug can work wonders for the heart. Whether you need a place to vent, someone to hold you to No Contact, or need advice about what to do, we're here to help.

What did I miss???

I visit this site almost daily. What did I miss that is making people want to leave? Am I blind to something? I came to this site for support and I have been blessed with support from my friends and I like it here. I did remove my picture from the site but mostly I have gotten really good advice. Whats going on here, really?

Well I haven't been male bashing... Just stbx bashing. I come here for support. Most times I don't even know what gender someone is. I would rather read about the person. I could care less if they stand up or sit down to twinkle. Support. Thats what I am here for.

I don't know either, like you I came here looking for support, to give and receive but feel like lately it's just been alot bashing and drama! And the whole 'pick up' thing, I dont have a clue what all that is!!

I feel supported every time I log on to this site. I know this isn't exactly the same, but another thread up right now is fussing about bad language, disrespect on this site, etc. Here is a copy of my response...
My suggestion would be that if you want to read all rainbow and sunshine words then you don't read posts in a section about Breakups and Divorce. Peoples lives have been shattered and they are hurt and angry. Rightfully so. They will choose whatever words they need to help themselves heal, and as someone who chooses to read their post, i read past the words and listen for content. So often in someone else's rant I can hear my own inner voice clearly for the first time. This site is most helpful because we are all different. Because of that I have been able to take bits and pieces from many many DS people and apply their advice or stories to my own circumstances. I say spend your time focusing on supporting instead of tearing down. Those of us who have made it to this site have usually had enough tearing down, thank you. We turn here for people who understand the way no one else can, and try to focus on helping build us back up.

I think I can be too funny sometimes and use humour in an attempt to hide my true feelings. Luckily I still believe that I am still at woodstock waiting for Jimmy Hendrix to come on and this is all a really bad Acid trip. LOL

I don't quite know why so many are leaving - it almost seems to be individual issues. I am not too often in the post area, so I do miss much. I still find this site absolutely incredible, and sometimes find it hard to remember that I haven't known some of my friends here for years. That I haven't even had a chance to hug them in real life. That's what they have meant to me during my healing process. In terms of the &quot;pick-up&quot; aspect, some people have worked together thru the worst of it, then found that they had something else in common. And some are not that pure in nature. But yes, this site is worth much. Hopefully, the ones that feel the need to hurt others will fade off. Like my Mom has always said &quot;Just ignore them, they'll go away.&quot; Peace, love, and happiness to you all.

A lot of the people who are leaving are finished with there divorce and they are ready to move on. Some times they get to involved with the drama to comes about when humans are involved in any thing. The drama gets to be to much they are divorced or over their break up and move on. You don't have to leave DS but maybe its time to explore another part of the site. Every one is different and every one makes up their mind when to leave. Remember the site is us and if the enviorment become hostile then we only have ourselves to blame. Its all about what you put in not what you take out. If you put in a lot of complaining then that is what you are going to hear.

I have no clue..I try and mind my own business, but sometimes I get caught up in poo. I wish people would just grow up. If you don't like what is said or what is going on..then just stay out of it, but be here for the new people. They need all the advice and support they can get. I also wish that when someone decides to leave because of drama they go without adding more drama.

I have no clue what new stuff has been going on, and I want it to stay that way. :)

well said wick. I have made many friends here and i for one will say there up days and there sre days that are so low i feel I have to look up to see dirt. and when I'm angry I express that too we all do and I for one love this site and don't know how i get through those rough days without it. I have been hit on an di have been offended but I wouldn't leave the site because one person has one opinion that dosen't agree with me we all are different and entitled to our own thoughts and opinions

A friend sent this to me..As far as I can see, grief will never truly end.It may become softer overtime, more gentleand some days will feel sharp.But grief will last as long as Love does - ForeverIt's simply the way the absence of your loved onemanifests in your heart. A deep longing accompaniedby the deepest Love some days. The heavy fog mayreturn and the next day, it may recede.Once again, it's...

I can count 4 times this year when I Went out of my way to make sure a "friend" felt good on their birthday, especially if they got left hanging. Its early in the...
